MGM/SciFi.com Official Summary

When the SG-1 team stumble upon the chamber of former Goa'uld enemy Ma'chello, they fall victim to his powerful body-swapping invention. Ma'chello takes on Dr. Daniel Jackson's body, and the young archeologist finds himself trapped in the body of an old and dying man. In Daniel's body, Ma'chello flees the SGC and gets a taste of life on Earth for the first time, while Daniel lies on his deathbed in the hospital. In an attempt to help their friend, Colonel Jack O'Neill and Teal'c bring the invention to the SGC, but they accidentally trigger it and find themselves in each other's body. When Ma'chello is tracked down and returned to the SGC, he reveals that the machine's process is irreversible.
